This is the daily report for the number of confirmed cases for the four countries that have the most confirmed cases as of 3/31/2020. The number of cases began to increase exponentially in Italy, Spain, and the US around March 15th. This is about a month after China saw an exponential growth of confirmed cases.

This is an animated report of the countries with the highest number of recoveries. Some of these countries are experiencing an exponential growth of recoveries.

This is an interactive graph of the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases by state.

This interactive graph shows the number of confirmed cases in New York by county on 3/31/20. As seen on the previous interactive graph above, New York had the highest number of confirmed cases. It’s interesting to see that the highest concentration of confirmed cases are towards to south of New York.
